Introducing computer-based documentation to Residential Aged Care: a multi-method evaluation of success [ 2008 - 2010 ]

Research Grant

Researchers Dr P Yu; A/Prof R Jayasuriya

Brief description Improvements to quality and use of evidence-based methods in residential aged-care are restricted due to the very slow adoption of electronic information systems. This research will provide key investors, government, aged care providers and IT vendors, with tools to measure success in introducing IT into this sector. The project will create a platform with the national peak body, to disseminate lessons in successful implementation of computerised systems in residential aged-care, based on studies in two states. The studies will also benefit the international community researching technology adoption, by extending its boundary condition to a novel setting.
